audit-dependencies

To audit dependencies for security and license compliance, run vulnerability scanners against your project graph, triage findings by severity and reachability, and map detected licenses against your allowed-vs-disallowed policy to produce a prioritized remediation plan.

Checking supply chain risks and SBOM hygiene before a release involves assessing dependency staleness or abandonment, verifying lockfile commitment and provenance, and surfacing critical CVEs alongside high-risk packages for remediation planning.

Dependency vulnerability triage works across Go, Node, Python, and Rust Cargo-based ecosystems by applying appropriate scanners to capture findings, assess reachability, and map available fixes across diverse project environments.

To detect non-permissive licenses blocking release readiness, scan your dependency graph to identify license types and compare the results directly against your project's stated license compatibility policy.

You can automate CI governance for supply chain security by integrating dependency audit steps into your pipeline to continuously capture vulnerability findings, check license compliance, and output evidence-based remediation plans.

Prioritizing dependency maintenance risk and abandonment during security triage is necessary because unmaintained packages with stale updates often lack available fixes for critical CVEs, directly increasing production outage and incident probability.
